Program Description
By opting in to receive SMS text messages from AMG Research/Beyond The Table Research (hereafter “AMG Research”), you agree to receive text communications solely related to your participation in market research activities. These messages are not marketing, advertising, or sales communications.
You may receive text messages for the following purposes:
- Notifications about survey opportunities for which you may be qualified.
- Follow-up communications to complete your intake or registration as a research respondent.
- Reminders to complete a previously started survey.
- Scheduling confirmations, updates, or reminders related to an upcoming research session.
AMG Research does not use text messaging for marketing, advertising, or sales purposes. Your mobile number will not be sold, shared, or disclosed to third parties for promotional purposes.
Consent
You will receive SMS messages from AMG Research only if you have provided prior express written consent through a clear and affirmative action, such as selecting “Yes” in response to an SMS consent question on a survey or intake form.
Your consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of participation in any research study or receipt of any incentive and may be revoked at any time.
The date on which you provide consent will be recorded and maintained by AMG Research for compliance and record-keeping purposes.
Message Frequency
Message frequency will vary depending on study eligibility, participation status, and research activity. Messages are sent only as necessary to support a specific research engagement. AMG Research will not send messages in excess of what is reasonably necessary for these purposes.
Message and Data Rates
Message and data rates may apply based on your mobile carrier and service plan. AMG Research is not responsible for any charges imposed by your carrier. Please contact your carrier if you have questions about your messaging plan or applicable charges.
Opt‑Out and Revocation of Consent
You may revoke your consent to receive SMS messages from AMG Research at any time and by any reasonable means.
The easiest way to opt out is to reply to any AMG Research text message with one of the following keywords: STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT.
You may also opt out by contacting AMG Research via email, phone call, or any other method that clearly communicates your wish to stop receiving text messages.
Upon receipt of an opt‑out request:
- AMG will cease all further text message communications as promptly as possible, and in no event later than ten (10) business days from receipt of your request.
- You may receive no more than one (1) confirmatory text message acknowledging your opt‑out request. This message will not contain any research solicitation content.
- If there is any ambiguity in your request, AMG Research may send a single clarification message to confirm the scope of your opt‑out. If you do not respond to the clarification message, the opt‑out will be applied to all text communications from AMG Research.
- No additional text messages will be sent unless you subsequently provide new, valid express written consent.
